The first one is my favorite - the pain of being different and of being the same. I wonder how many people wander around feeling like that.But I also love the playfulness of 'what are you doing this summer?' It put a smile on my face.

Thanks - made my day so far. A lot of people I know are like that, but I think people I connect most strongly with a tiny part of the population (INFPs by and large). When I'm in situations with the larger world I see people running fast without much thought, not feeling the same or different or much at all but hurried and busy and focussed - oh my (sigh).

A comment I once received on these virtual pages comes to mind: "Sometimes I read your blog and think: How is it possible that this smart, talented person is not married? But I realize that those of us who are a bit different take longer to find our perfect match. You're not just the average, everyday haiku-writing, well-read, comedian-rabbi. :D"
